Jaguars signed Auburn CB Nick Marshall.

Marshall (6'2/207) played quarterback at Auburn, but practiced at cornerback during Senior Bowl practices and will try to make it as a defensive back in the pros. He has adequate arm length (32 1/8") for the position and ran 4.54 at the Combine, also impressing in the vertical (37 1/2") and broad (10'4") jumps. Marshall obviously needs a lot of technical work, but held his own in Mobile and has ideal dimensions for a big, perimeter press corner. May 3 - 6:42 PM

Auburn DB Nick Marshall "need to prove that he's physically tough enough to handle run support but Marshall boasts the kind of traits that could warrant middle-round consideration and ultimately help him emerge as a starting cornerback in the NFL," writes CBS Sports' Rob Rang.

"He has only played one game -- the 2015 Senior Bowl -- at cornerback since 2011, however, and demonstrated such an intriguing blend of size, fluidity and confidence when asked to make this position change in Mobile that he deserves special mention," Rang wrote. "His [prior] experience at the position [at Georgia] was clear during Senior Bowl practices where he was thrown into the fire against dynamic athletes like Miami speedster Phillip Dorsett and shockingly held his own. Marshall has very light feet and a fluid turning motion. He locates the ball quickly and is highly competitive." Marshall doesn't have the jaw-dropping athleticism that you'd like to see in a prospect converting to the defensive backfield, but he does have the size and smarts to earn a selection as a developmental prospect.

The Falcons worked out Auburn DB Nick Marshall over the weekend, according to Chase Goodbread.

Marshall continues to make the transition from quarterback to cornerback. He tested like an average athlete at the Combine, but with length and height a team will be intrigued by Marshall as a project. He did play DB at Georgia and other teams might view Marshall as a safety. Mar 30 - 11:02 AM

Auburn QB/CB Nick Marshall is "worth heavy consideration at some point in the draft," according to NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock.

"I think he's difficult, and it's too early for me. I just think he's worth heavy consideration at some point in the draft as we begin to figure all this stuff out," NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock said. "Part of it is what you think his value is going to be two or three years from now, not today. If you truly believe he can be a starting defensive back in the league, he's got one value. If you think he's going to be a perennial backup and a core special-teams player, it's a different value." The multi-talented Auburn prospect, has the ability to play quarterback in a zone-read package or as a developmental defensive back, that can be used on special teams. Mar 5 - 2:49 PM
